Lady Fair


By Melissa

The Night sings its songs of sleep,In a town called Gananeep. Everyones a sleep,not a word,the children who play in the day are not even heard.

The Mist wraps around the City with care, Not A sign of Danger nor here nor there.In the castle,the Princess Lays with hair of Gold and with thoughts of the day.

She sits in her Bed,with tears and fears shes promised to wed someone who she wishes she could hold dear.

King Joseph of Gananeep,loved by far and loves to hear her heartbeat.Deseption and Lies she told to thee,she told Him forever she will love thee.

Eyes of the sky and curls of Gold, Loved by many and hero.Saved Her Kingdom,protects all,why can't she love him at all?

In award and thanks of his kindness,she promised her heart,and that he fell in love with from the start.She did not really mean the kind words she would say,she would do anything to keep her Kingdom safe.

The clock strikes tweleve and he comes to thee,he smiles and she feels his love he has for she.He loves her so,he loves her dear,losing her is something he fears.If he shall loose his lady fair,a knife in his heart he will place there for he can not stand to feel the pain of not hearing his love call his name.

A sweet kiss on the lips and a whisper of love he shuts the door and how bad she lies to him is all she can think of.

For she has a secret,a secret of forbidden love an affair of sorts with King Joseph's Brother.He is the Neighboring Neighbor of Gananeep, Who she once let him hear ever heartbeat.

She loves him,she needs him but she left him standing there with his heart full of love and sadness in the air.

She left him because she would not continue this love affair No more,she knew now that Joseph had to be the one and only she could ever think of.

As the tears fall down her face,a loud scream of pain is heard in the distance.She runs to the window,to see who goes there and to her suprise is Joseph's Brothers and him there.

She falls on her knees,and begins to Prey that there shall not be a fray.She heres Joseph call her name, she runs down stairs as she hears the sword cling.

Joseph stands there with tears in his eyes,with a sword,and his ladys name he cries.He's found out all of her Ja' an des vous and all he can say:"Did I ever hurt you?"

Confused and frustrated,He mumbles words,she sees the love he has for her and he slowly moves toward her.Thinking,waiting, watching him come towards her.

Wanting,watching,Hes wanting to her hold her.

Needing,Loving,shes confused is this what she is starting to feel?

She smiles and her arms open for him,he smiles his eyes full of tears.

She grabs him and holds him,never to let go.She whispers:"I love you, please don't let me go."

She now means ever word she says,shes learned to love him for who he is not the man who has power,and servants and who will be remembered for many years.

She looks into his Baby Blue eyes,he smiles and moves closer and begins to close him eyes.

She is in heaven,her life is fufiled,God Don't let this moment end,never ever,I finally have her here in my arms, forever and ever for years he whispers and kisses her with a passion of love, where angels in heaven sigh for the lovers above.

He stops,he looks her in the eyes but then slowly his smile turns into a frown.

His eyes get big,he falls to the ground.

A steal iron sword piereced thru his back,right thru the center of it all,his heart.

She looks behind her and his brother stands there,with laughter in his eyes but his guilty consouis in the air.

She cries a cry like no other has heard,she watches him slowly as he dies in her arms.

Hes gone forever,and forever she will morn.Her hearts been broken and her soul died with him.

Moons and suns passed,her heart begin to get weak for nothing she would eat. Slowly and weakly she died and with a memory of his baby blue eyes.
